    I got a very Final Fantasy vibe off of this while reading. Not a bad thing, just...you know. Liked the combination of runes and conjurations, liked the concept of being a hyper-mage that kills from huge distances, liked the build. +1

    Also, 88th like. YES

    Dude, Portuguese is amazing, I personally think it's one of the cooler Latin based languages out there. Screw language rules, it's cool to communicate in different languages to people you don't know.

    I have been messing with runes a lot more recently and I have noticed the "hit box." Usually when I can cast the rune right under someone's feet you can see a huge increase in the damage output. But for some reason I have yet to notice it with Poison Rune. I'm not sure if the damage isn't significant enough for me to notice or if I just haven't hit the correct area yet. Did you ever notice a difference with the hit box and Poison Runes?

    What's the stat distribution? Also, a bit of explanation on the enchantments? You said Fortify Conjuration/Destruction/Magicka/Magicka Regen, but which enchants on what? What about the boots (not worried about boots since those enchants suck anyway)?

    We need to start keeping track of how many times people ask Henson for stat distributions on his builds

    Also, only two more likes until Legendary!

    Epic build. The best part is the spot on matching of summons to rune spells. Builds with a sensible theme are the best builds on this site. Definitely legendary.

    Very cool build. Runes are way underrated. +1

    I liked this build a long time ago. I just have to say though, this build is so cool!

    +1 from me. A Mage build build up on runes, interesting! I love the combination with summons so you will do some extra damage from afar. But, as my translation website didn't come up with anything; what does Cabalist actually mean?

    Henson probably adapted it from the word "cabalistic" = relating to or associated with mystical interpretation or esoteric doctrine.
